GLOBAL VACCINE DATA NETWORK

The Global Vaccine Data Network™ (GVDN®) is a multinational, investigator-led research network with primary interests in the area of vaccine safety and effectiveness. We make it possible for global collaborative retrospective analyses of health data by utilising the existing capabilities of some partners and growing the capacity of countries with less developed data infrastructures... Rare adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) can only be evaluated in post-introduction pharmacovigilance studies. The Global Vaccine Data Network™ makes it possible for global collaborative retrospective analyses of health data utilising the existing capabilities of some partners, while growing the capacity of countries with less developed data infrastructures. Sharing standards and common data protocols for observed over expected studies, rapid-cycle analyses, and association studies facilitates robust and rapid scientific outputs that contribute strong evidence to the dialogue around vaccine use..
